Chapter 18: The Blood Demon Tree
In the depths of the woods, a large open space suddenly appeared in front of Wang Yi's eyes.
Under the moonlight, countless people were fighting, shouting one after another, and even more miserable howls kept coming.
Wang Yi looked closely, and in the open space, hundreds of martial artists dressed in bamboo armor were desperately besieging dozens of disciples wearing Fire Spirit Sect costumes.
These Miao Jiazhai martial artists, who were cowardly and timid two days ago, seemed to be crazy at this time, wielding bright steel knives, and fearlessly impacting the camp of the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect.
The cultivation of the martial artists of Miaojiazhai is the highest, and they are only at the second level of the Spirit Gathering Period, and there are even many ordinary people, but they have no fear, even if their legs are cut off, they still hold on to the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect, creating opportunities for future generations to slash and kill.
The disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect were caught off guard, and suffered heavy casualties for a while.
And not far from where everyone was fighting, there was a giant tree hugged by seven or eight people, the huge crown did not have a single leaf, and countless black-brown dead branches seemed to be alive at this time, trembling and dancing, even the rhizomes in the ground broke out of the ground, and the rhizomes that were thick with arms were like thick blood vessels, rolling hideously, greedily sucking the blood of those who died on the ground.
"Formation, formation!"
A tall man in a red robe was Huo Xin, I saw him constantly shouting in the crowd, and at the same time, waving a wide-backed heavy knife in his hand, the wide-backed heavy knife emitted a dark red light, and there was even more flames burning in the waving, and at first glance it was a magic weapon of no low grade.
"Poof, poof. ”
Huo Xin waved the wide-backed heavy knife in his hand, and cut down the two Miaojiazhai martial artists in front of him, his face was solemn, he looked around, around him, the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect who could still persist in fighting were less than sixty percent left, and the Miaojiazhai martial artists with blood-red eyes on the periphery were densely packed, I don't know how many.
The remaining thirty or so disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect are all working together in the deacon hall, usually practicing the combined attack formation, this formation can be a few people, or more than a dozen or hundreds of people, together in a formation, once the combined attack formation is formed, both offensive and defensive, can cooperate with the issuance of a sharp true yuan slash, attacking the range of more than ten zhang, its power is more than twice as much as usual, and it is precisely by relying on the combined attack formation that it has blocked several attacks of the Miaojiazhai warriors like a tide.
The disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect formed a circle, and within more than ten zhang outside the circle, there were countless stumps and broken arms, and those Miaojiazhai martial artists, as if they didn't see the sharp True Yuan slashing through the air attack at all, still wielded the steel knife fiercely, rushing up one after another.
At this moment, a miscellaneous disciple who was covered in blood desperately rushed to Huoxin's side, pointed to the distance, and shouted in horror.
"Deacon Huoxin, over there...... I can't stand it over there, there are demons controlling the dead corpse, the dead corpse is invulnerable, and it will spit gray gas, as long as the gas is stained by someone, it will erode and suppurate, and the firepower deacon is outnumbered and has been killed!"
"What!"
Huo Xin looked in the direction that the disciple was pointing, and among the crowd of Miaojiazhai martial artists, there were several black-robed people who were extremely conspicuous, with strange seals in their hands, and dry and incomprehensible incantations in their mouths, and in front of them, several dead corpses in ragged clothes and chapped skin were waving their arms, constantly attacking the combined attack formation on that side.
A deacon disciple in a red robe had been pierced through the chest by the right hand of a dead corpse, and the nails that were more than a foot long had fallen in a pool of blood.
"Miao Hanshan, you actually dare to collude with the Demon Dao demons, do you know what will happen if you are in the company of the remnants of the Demon Sect?"
Huo Xin roared angrily, this time he relied on his cultivation to be profound, and there were many people, and he didn't put the small Miao Jiazhai in his eyes at all, two days ago he sent his disciples to search in the forest, and finally found the location of the legendary Miao family ancient village, but he didn't know that when he gathered his disciples and was about to open this secret realm, he was suddenly surrounded by countless Miao Jiazhai warriors.
Even, these people also released the transmission spirit runes that only the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect had, and all the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect who were not of his lineage were also summoned.
At this time, even a fool can see that this is a trap deliberately designed for them by Miaojiazhai, just waiting for them to drill into it themselves. Huo Xin's eyes almost spewed flames, he originally planned to be able to find the location of Miao Han Mountain, as long as he knew the location of the patriarch of Miao Jiazhai, he could completely rely on his own strength to kill the crowd and kill the other party.
As long as Miao Hanshan is killed, these Miao family village warriors will be leaderless and become a plate of scattered sand.
However, from the beginning of the war to the present, he has not seen the shadow of Miao Hanshan, and he does not dare to leave the combined attack formation formed by the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect, without his support everywhere, without half a pillar of incense, these disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect will be overwhelmed by the tide of Miao Jiazhai warriors, and he will be the only one left, even if he has the seventh-layer cultivation of the Spirit Gathering Period, it will be difficult to get out.
And at this moment, seeing the appearance of a yin corpse, his heart completely fell into despair.
I saw that the four yin corpses brought up a stream of gray dead air, a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect, but he retreated half a beat slowly, and he was shrouded in gray gas, and in an instant, he saw that a large area of skin outside his body was covered with a layer of black spots, but after a few breaths, the black spots began to rot, and the yellow-brown thick water flowed out of the body, accompanied by the disciple's painful **, and there was no sound after a while.
"Stand back...... Quickly retreat, this is dead air, urging the True Yuan Protector!"
Another clan member of Huoxin, Huo Anxing, shouted loudly, carrying a long sword that emitted flames, blocking the front, and dealing with the siege of the four Yin Corpses alone, but in a few breaths, it was in danger, and the red robe outside his body was also torn open by the claws of the Yin Corps, which was more than a foot long, and bright red blood slowly flowed down his legs. He was gasping for air, his eyes filled with despair and pain.
"Fire Anxing!"
Huoxin roared, and the seventh-layer cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Period was urged to the extreme, as if the wind was screaming, and in an instant, it swept out a distance of dozens of zhang, and a wide-backed heavy knife danced with a tiger and a tiger.
"Jingle bell, ding bell. ”
Several Jin Ge blows came, and the wide-backed heavy knife in Huo Xin's hand seemed to be able to crack the mountain, but when it was cut on the dry Yin corpse, it made a crisp metal collision sound, and Huo Xin only felt that his arms were numb, and the tiger's mouth was in sharp pain.
He was frightened in his eyes, grabbed the fire Anxing beside him, and quickly retreated behind him, the four Yin corpses did not chase, but stretched out their claws and rushed towards the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect who formed a formation, and the combined attack of the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect True Yuan Slash could shoot out more than ten zhang, enough to cut off the big tree held by one person, but the cut on the Yin corpse was just outside his dry skin, leaving a looming white mark.
In an instant, the four Yin Corpses tore apart the combined attack formation of the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect, and the first few disciples howled miserably, and they were actually torn into countless pieces of flesh by the sharp nails of the Yin Corps.
Blood sprayed on the ground, seeping into the soil, a moment of effort, there are earthworm-like roots gushing out, like leeches greedily sucking blood, the withered and cracked roots, after sucking the blood, the surface is more and more rounded, the yellow skin layer by layer shedding, like a snake molting, revealing the fresh flesh inside, and even faintly see a red liquid flowing.
"No, there's something weird about this tree!"
At the same time as Huo Xin retreated, he suddenly woke up and looked at the giant tree not far behind him, the giant tree seemed to be alive at this moment, and all the dead branches were swaying wildly, like the claws of countless evil ghosts.
"This is the Blood Demon Tree, feeding on the raw blood of living creatures, such a thick trunk, I really don't know how many years it has survived, be careful not to be caught by his branches!"
With a reminder, Huo Liangcai held a flaming sword in his hand, and stumbled from not far away, his whole body was covered with blood marks, and there were several knife wounds, like a baby's small mouth, rolling hideously.
In Huo Xin's puzzled gaze, Huo Liangcai couldn't breathe, so he said eagerly: "I have seen in ancient books that this blood demon tree, although it is a tree type, is a demon beast, which hides in the forest on weekdays, waiting for living creatures to approach, and then binds and devours it with branches and rhizomes...... Just now, this demon tree didn't attack us because it fell into a deep sleep for some reason, and now it has sucked the blood of so many warriors who died in battle, and it has begun to wake up. ”
To tell the truth, usually in Yuntianfang, Huo Xin looks down on Huo Liangcai a little, he is a figure who hopes to become an inner disciple, and if Huo Liangcai does not have a big opportunity, this life will stop here, so on weekdays, he will not even look at Huo Liangcai more, but at this time, he can't help but look at Huo Liangcai a few more times.
At this time, the situation was extremely critical, the outer Miaojiazhai martial artists, following behind the four Yin corpses, were about to break the combined attack formation, most of the Fire Spirit Sect disciples were pale because of the excessive consumption of the true yuan, and the huge blood demon tree behind him, countless dead branches and rhizomes have become more and more active, and they have reached the point where there is no way to retreat, the next moment, as long as the combined attack formation is broken, everyone will be submerged by the sea of Miaojiazhai martial artists.
"Ahh
Huo Xin shouted, lifted the wide-backed heavy knife in his hand, and prepared to rush towards the four Yin Corpses again, although he knew that he was invincible, but he couldn't escape, he was the commander of this sect's mission, if all the disciples died, only he returned to the sect, not only would he be punished by the sect, but it was also possible to affect the elders of the clan in the inner gate.
As for escaping, it is even more impossible, if he runs away, without the Fire Spirit Sect coming forward, the family will also send someone to capture him back and deal with him according to the family law, so he can only fight.
However, at this moment, the earth suddenly trembled, as if something huge broke out of the ground, Huo Xin subconsciously looked in the direction of the vibration, only to see that the huge blood demon tree, under the trunk was slowly cracking a crack, the crack was getting wider and wider, and the surrounding soil was piling up.
"What is this?" asked the fire letter aloud.
Huo Liangcai's face was also frightened, he trembled his lips and said: "This, this may be the entrance of the Miao family ancient village, the ancestors of the Miao family ancient village, the entrance to the secret realm is hidden in the body of the blood demon tree, only when the blood demon tree absorbs enough blood, the entrance will be opened......"
At this moment, the Miaojiazhai warriors outside the combined attack array also saw this scene, and the offensive was more fierce than before, and in an instant, the combined attack array was in danger of being broken.
"Fight, let's enter the secret realm!"
Huo Xin analyzed the form in an instant, staying here is certain death, it is better to simply rush into the secret realm, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.
At this moment, a strong momentum suddenly galloped towards them.
Huo Liangcai looked at the man, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, he looked incredulous, and said, "It's Wang Yi, he's still alive!"
